About cxpartners

We design innovative digital services.

We help organisations to transform by focussing on their customers' needs.

And through our parent company, Sopra Steria, we deliver at scale.

Working with us

We work with customer champions and digital leads in highly complex or tightly regulated organisations that want to make a difference. cxpartners designs and builds services and digital products that deliver what people need. Partner with us to drive sustainable, customer-focused change in your organisation.

See the challenge through your customers' eyes

"Every business makes statements saying 'we put the customer front of mind when making decisions', but that can get lost. cxpartners showed that listening to the user has a positive outcome. Put the customer first and the rest will follow."

Get everyone behind the change

"cxpartners' approach is a great fit for a really difficult user journey. We get solutions that genuinely work and we've engaged people who've become champions for change."

Learn a new lean and collaborative process

"It worked really well, I think, because we all went on the same journey of discovery, working really closely together, spending time together and being really open. It wasn’t the relationship of client and consultant or providers. It was dynamic. It was FUN. You can’t always say that."

Pragmatic support for complex projects

"When I had concerns we just sat down and talked them through. When we looked, half of them weren't things we needed to worry about and we dealt with the rest. It was relaxed, so it wasn't a problem"

Our story

cxpartners' co-founders, Richard and Giles, sharing a laugh while sitting on a sofa in the cxpartners office.

When cxpartners was born in 2004 it was just Richard and Giles working in an attic with a conviction that design, technology, and business should be centred around people and a strong desire to help.

Today cxpartners works on critical business challenges all over the world. Our empathetic, people-centered design approach has turned a bank from an enemy to a friend, created a life-saving Instant Messaging service, and it's bringing everyday space travel a step closer to reality.
